At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 159 Advancing to the Finals
"I hope Kobe just has a muscle strain..." Looking at the doctor who entered the field, Jackson prayed inwardly.

Now for Jackson, the outcome of the game is no longer important, Kobe can not be injured, this is the most important.

As a 32-year-old veteran, Kobe has reached the end of his peak.

For the Lakers, at the end of Kobe's peak, the most important thing is to hit a few more championships.

But Kobe's sudden injury now is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Lakers' plan.

However, the injured Kobe was quite tough. After recovering from the initial severe pain, he refused to be carried off the field on a stretcher. With the support of others, he limped out of the field.

Although there are no waves on the surface, Kobe has lost all hope at this time.

Although he doesn't know the extent of his current injury, according to his experience, the consequences of injuries without any physical contact are generally more serious.

Although he has been miserably suppressed by Du Zhe before, as a veteran strongman in the alliance, he has a sense of arrogance.

Not Du Zhe's opponent, but other stars in the league really didn't make Kobe pay attention to him.

But today's injury gave Kobe a feeling of slipping from the nine days.

Kobe's end made the entire Lakers team ashamed.

They may not know how serious Kobe's injury is, but they must understand that the victory of this game is getting farther and farther away from them.

Shannon Brown, who replaced Bryant, obviously didn't arouse Duzhe's interest in defending him.

Gasol, who has been struggling to support the situation on the court, suddenly fell into a predicament.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors widened the point difference to 3 points at 78:72.

The powerful Lakers have been suppressed from the beginning to the present, and even lost Kobe's pinnacle of determination. It can be said that there is no suspense about the outcome so far.

Entering the 4th quarter, the Warriors were crushed, to be exact, Du Zhe was alone.

Du Zhe stretched out his hand and completely locked Gasol.

Usually, Gasol relied on the Warriors' weak inside line to overwhelm the basket.

But now facing Du Zhe's attack, he began to be helpless.

I saw that Gasol just got the ball with his back on the field, ready to attack.

Du Zhe, who was ambushing at the side, had already killed him and wanted to steal Gasol.

How could Gasol give up the ball so easily? He quickly held the ball with both hands, trying to avoid Du Zhe's fatal steal.

However, Du Zhe's shots were fast, ruthless, and accurate, and his two big hands were like a pair of iron clamps, firmly clamping on the basketball.

Next, it is a pure competition of strength.

Gasol's face was red and almost bleeding. Veins popped out in his arms. He tried all his strength to protect the basketball in his hands.

But under the pressure of Du Zhe's brute force, he could only watch the ball slipping out of his hands bit by bit.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the basketball in his hand was forcefully taken away by Du Zhe.

Gasol, who was exhausted, let out a helpless growl, almost crying.

Du Zhe's style of play was too arrogant. This was not a steal. It was clearly a matter of using brute force to take the ball away from him.

But Du Zhe did not leave too much time for Gasol to be angry. After grabbing the ball, he immediately launched a counterattack.

After improving his straight-line dribbling ability, his ability to combine man and ball, as well as his speed when dribbling, have been greatly improved.

Curry and Ellis still led the way, but Du Zhe did not pass the ball this time.

Witnessed by all the Warriors fans at the scene, he drove straight into the Lakers basket and dunked a goal against Shannon Brown and "Old Fish" Fisher who were returning to defense.

The scene was filled with cheers and shouts of MVP.

The Lakers generals in the away game looked a little lonely amidst the cheers all over the sky, and Fisher and Brown, who were knocked to the ground, were even a little downcast.

Gasol moved his lips, trying to say something pep, but couldn't open his mouth for anything.

Turning around, the Lakers wanted to hand the ball to the inside core Gasol in their own offensive round.

But Du Zhe double-teamed him like a shadow.

The last miss seemed to have left a psychological shadow on Gasol, and in a hurry, he was intercepted by Du Zhe again.

Then came the familiar counterattack of the Warriors.

Du Zhe advanced with the ball like a tank, sweeping away all obstacles blocking the basket.

This time it was Artest who was dunked to the ground.

Now the Lakers have completely lost their ability to counterattack. Fisher and Brown on the outside are all role players and cannot be counted on at all.

Artest is strong in defense and weak in attack. At this critical moment, he has no offensive ability.

Under Du Zhe's crazy targeting, Gasol couldn't find a chance to make a shot at all, and even made a mistake if he didn't pay attention.

The only Bynum left has no one to attract firepower for him, and he can't make any waves.

In the Warriors' wave after wave of offensive, the game ended.

The Warriors easily defeated the Lakers at home 105:91, advancing to the Finals with their heads high as a black seven.

Du Zhe scored 43 points, 4 rebounds and 6 steals in this game. His ferocious performance once again shocked all fans.

After this battle, Du Zhe almost became synonymous with Jordan in the current world.

But how could Du Zhe be satisfied with this? In his opinion, with his current strength, even if Jordan comes in person, he is sure to make the opponent taste defeat.

In fact, many fans already put Du Zhe above Jordan.

After all, he is as strong as Jordan. In the first few seasons when he first entered the league, it was difficult to surpass the Celtics and Pistons.

After Du Zhe finished his first season completely, he led the team all the way to overcoming strong opponents, defeating the strong with the weak, and entered the finals with the posture of black seven. This feat was not even accomplished by Jordan. passed.

And Du Zhe's performance is indeed worthy of praise from the fans.

在西决这个舞台上，面对湖人队这种冠军级别的球队，他在后面的4场比赛中别砍下了45、32、60、43分的高分。

It can be said that in these 4 games, his performance was a little abnormal, and the Warriors are very likely to be overturned by the Lakers.

After the game, Kobe's injury report was announced not long after.

According to the doctor's test results, Bryant's Achilles tendon ruptured due to the accumulation of fatigue.

As soon as this news came out, it caused a shock in the league.

Los Angeles fans, who were already immersed in the grief of being eliminated, are now even worse.

They were still comforting themselves, even if they were eliminated this season, they might not be able to make a comeback next year with the deep background of the Lakers giants.

But Kobe's fall shattered their hopes. A 32-year-old veteran suffered such a serious injury. Under such circumstances, everyone knew that Kobe's era was over.
